What follows is an email I sent out recently, and while it was intended for a specific group, I thought that I would be terribly remiss if I didn't let you great folks in LJ-Land know about this...

* * * * *
Who: The Joe Trainor Trio with special guests Jill Knapp and Matt Casarino
What: Benefit concert for The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation of Delaware
When: This Saturday (Sept. 19th) at 8pm
Where: The Baby Grand here in beautiful Wilmington Delaware ( 818 N. Market St. Wilmington, DE 19801 )
How: (much) $15 in advance (via http://www.ticketsatthegrand.org/PerformanceDetail.aspx?Perf_no=749 ) or $20 at the door.

That's right gang - Joe & the Boys, xtingu , and Matt Casarino are all going to be rocking the doors off the Baby Grand this weekend, and it couldn't be for a better cause. Bring friends, bring family, and bring that guy next door who always seemed like a hep cat, but you just never got the chance to break the ice. It's going to be one hell of a good time and when you're helping to make childrens' lives a little better? Well... you really can't beat that.

If you have any questions, feel free to:
1. Post them 'publicly' here - chances are pretty good someone else is wondering about that too...
2. Ask me privately either by email or a phone call
or

Ok - I'll stop blathering now, but PLEASE come to this event if you have the ability - you will not regret it! (Besides - it's a chance to wish me a belated happy birthday and it's actually ON Joe's birthday!)
